The Black and Yellows will then travel to Group G favourites Manchester City a week later to take on the English Premier League champions. There will be a reunion with former Borussia Dortmund trio Erling Haaland, Ilkay Gündoğan and Sergio Gomez. The game against Manchester City will be sandwiched between crunch Bundesliga fixtures against RB Leipzig and Schalke 04.
